God Defends New Zealand
This relates to the jade culture in china, and how God has defended New Zealand by blessing this country with the gift of greenstone that is to be treasured by both the New Zealand people and by people around the world. The pattern of the character “寿shou” is a word meaning ‘long life ‘and is represented in the shape of a crane to portray long life and never-ending cycles. The national song at the top symbolizes the biculturalism of New Zealand and the gift the Māori have with bonding strong relationships between foreign countries such as China.
